Best Answer

All windows files can play on a Mac if you run boot camp (which is bascially installing windows on your mac) if you want to run windows files on a native AMc operating system you must have the program installed for the mac version. For example, if you have Micrsoft Word for Mac then you can view files like .doc or .docx on your mac. Same with .wmp, you need window's media player installed on your mac.

Hope this helps.

Mac OS X and Windows are different types of computer operating system. Windows uses executable (.exe) files while Macs use applications (.app) files.
